Radamel Falcao targets Chelsea transfer

AS Monaco striker Radamel Falcao is keen on a summer switch to Chelsea, according to a report.

The Colombian international failed to make the most of his loan move at Manchester United last season, and is expected to seek a fresh challenge at another Premier League club.

According to The Telegraph, the talented marksman is desperate to remain in the English top flight and wants to join the Premier League champions, who are in search of a new striker following the departure of Didier Drogba.

It is added that Falcao is willing to take a substantial pay-cut on his current weekly wages of £265,000, in order to push through any deal.
